A wrestler challenged me to a friendly match outside a gym. I beat him in seconds… although, it was actually the broken bottle in the tall grass that did most of the work. He got stitches… he was fine…

It’s funny, the only reason I remember it so well is the ending. A fight is a fight and if nothing more became of it that particular memory would have faded away. By having the Animal join our study group and having the two get along so well that really threw me.

It also taught me a lesson: Sometimes you have to let go of the past and move on. That’s probably why that little moment in time stayed with me.

I love this story, ahh youth what things we miss in adulthood? Like you can’t challenge your annoying co-worker to a fight in the parking lot like in your story. That would get us both fired, but I’d win, so yeah…..lol.

Life really works in mysterious ways sometimes. I ended up being really good friends with a person who bullied me once. Though it didn’t happen in the same time frame as it did in your story but it goes to show that all you have to do is get to know someone. Our enemies are often struggling with themselves just as much as the rest of us. If only we could SEE past people… man the world would be such an incredibly better place. Great story, thanks for sharing!!
